Hi there, thanks for visiting our page
Welcome to Sunday for Sammy, the home of North East talent, past, present and future. Our shows don’t just celebrate the region’s humour, music and creativity, they help fund life‑changing grants and opportunities for young performers through the Sunday for Sammy Trust.
From unforgettable Arena shows where big names share the stage with emerging talent, to the support we give through our grantee programme, everything we do helps the next generation take their first steps in the creative industries.
Whether you’re here to revisit memories from past shows, explore updates from our grantees, find out where you can see us next, or learn more about the work of the Trust, enjoy a look around the site.
